yes, we usually wear fairy wings when we hang out in publicand if you ask grace, she is, in fact, "part fairy"
today
today was one of those days
long
long
long day
gray's first kinda day at her new school
which is completely amazing
and causes me to go into a mama-high when i'm there
followed by her falling down some brick steps
at nana's
and smashing her neck and tiny little head
and collarbone
on the stairs
and the cement
at the bottom of the stairs
scrapes on the legs
and the knees
and between the legs
and the scapula
and then there were the internal injuries
"is it broken?"
"should we go to the ER?"
ice packs
laying down
and hysterical screaming all day
and then the fighting between the kids
so what's a mama to do but frantically fall clean the kitchen?
i feel like i've survived some traumatic something-or-other today
like maybe getting hit by a truck
something major
so tonight
now that the kids are in bed
sleeping soundly
i will sit on the couch
and reflect
and eat my favorite fattoush from my favorite restaurant
and their delicious french fries
and not worry about anything
not my curves
not the whining
just me
and my husband
eating french fries.
